A Board Designed for Modern Players

The Chessnut Evo is aimed at chess enthusiasts who want to blend the elegance of a living room board with the power of a digital tool. Its integrated 12.3-inch touchscreen (1920×720) displays moves, analyses, and visual aids in real-time. Thanks to its complete piece recognition, configurations are executed instantly: simply place the pieces on the board to start playing.

AI Training in a Human Style

Equipped with an octa-core processor and a dedicated NPU for artificial intelligence, the Chessnut Evo offers a more natural learning experience. Its MAIA-type AI, inspired by human playing styles, allows players to progress by reproducing realistic patterns rather than purely computational responses.

Connectivity and Universal Compatibility

The board allows for online play via Lichess and Chess.com, directly from its Android 11 interface or through the Chessnut Bridge app. Its constantly evolving software ecosystem also provides firmware updates and new analysis features, enhancing the product's longevity.
